Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof is one of the most entertaining films I've seen in awhile. In Korea it's not paired with Grindhouse but is being released on its own, so they've added more scenes. That means the version in Korea does start off a bit slow, but it picks up and is just crazy entertaining once it picks up.

I'll leave the reviews to the pros, but I'll just say "wow" what a great ending.A bit of warning. You've got to be a movie fan, I think, to like the dialogue. I've read a few reviews which are critical of it. I think, however, if you can follow Tarantino's brand of wit, you'll like it most of the film. If you can't, you'll probably only get a rise out of the action scenes.Yes, it's got violence. Yes, there is blood. It's a Tarantino movie! I'm squeamish with movie blood and gore, but I dug this. Then again, I loved the Kill Bill movies too. If I say anything further, I'll have to flag this for spoilers.

Now I'm going to dust off my Reservoir Dogs DVD and have a late night movie festival.------------------------------------Speaking of spoilers - if you don't want any, don't bother clicking on these links. However, I don't think it really matters.

About Me

I'm an L.A. native who lived in the Land of the Morning Calm, South Korea, for a bit too long. I had a great time while I was there. I have a B.A. and law degree, but I earned a master's in international studies at Ewha Womans University. It was then I discovered that I love writing, thanks to this blog, and the things that grew out of writing it. For those who need to know where Korea is located. Korea is a peninsula that is split into two countries (North Korea and South Korea). It's located in NE Asia between Japan and Taiwan. It's below the eastern coast of China and Russia.
I moved back from NYC in 2011. It was exciting but definitely challenging. I "made" it in NYC and well, as the song says.
I'm back in the SF Bay area now. I'm now a Program Manager – Marketing Events at Salesforce on their Developer Community team.
